[Elecraft] [K3] Elecraft roofing filters

[Kjeld Holm]

Dear all,

Thanks for all the kind answers.

Sorry for all that fuss. Somehow I mixed up everything so I ended up
thinking of some nonsense like 1.0 kHz for SSB. :-o

I will go for 250 Hz and 400 Hz for CW plus 2.8 kHz for SSB. And also
filters for AM and FM.

They are available on the website.   

KFL3A-1.0K  1 kHz, 8-pole roofing filter   	125.95

I have one in my K3 but I don't use it too much.  You might want to use it
over a 250 or 500 filter to listen to a pile up so you can hear if the
station is working people above or below his frequency.  I have listened to
SSB a bit on the filter and while very narrow for SSB you can hear the
station.

The better question might be, what modes do you like to operate?  I am about
to order a second K3 and I was going to go with the following filters.  2.8
replacing the stock 2.7/ AM/ FM/ 400 or 500 and 250.  If you never play to
transmit on AM or want to do ESSB or FM those slots would be available.  The
K3 I have now has the 2.7 which is being replaced with the
2.8/1.8/1.0/400/200 in the main rcv, 2.8/400 in the sub.

Dear all,
 
In the "Roofing Filter Notes from Wayne and Eric" link on the Order page I
see the two sentences: "Add narrower/wider filters as you prefer. I like to
use the 1.0 kHz crystal filter when tuning a crowded band or listening to a
pile up."
 
Can anyone point me to a place that can tell me what "the 1.0 kHz crystal
filter" is, where to obtain one and when it is worth using?
